2017 The ONE Moto Show Photo Review

The saying goes, if these walls could talk. The 100 year old foundry walls of a weathered worn factory in an industrial district of Portland would say how it came alive last weekend, the din of a 1000 conversations bouncing of its walls and its floors filled with a dizzying montage of motorcycles and memorabilia. The craftsmanship on display at this year’s ONE Show was off the charts, from the intricate throttle linkage of Christian Sosa’s Knuckle-dragger to the tail section of 40 Cal Customs “Tennessee Waltz,” whose 1923 Harley JD powered racer won top honors in the show. Every time you’d find a favorite you’d walk into the next room and discover a new one. Not knowing what you were going to see around the next corner added an extra layer to the 2017 ONE Show experience.

40 Cal Customs earned top honors at the 2017 One Show for their Bonneville-tested “Tennessee Waltz.”

While we’re whipping up a polished piece for an upcoming issue of American Iron Magazine, here’s a small gallery of photos from the 2017 ONE Moto Show to enjoy until then.
